" it seems like you know, so tell me," I said. The sensation of his fingers on my skin caused a tingle to spread. I didn't stop him, I just waited for him to say it." You are my mate" I would have laughed at that but I was confused with the way my body reacted to his touch just like it does with Adam, but one thing I was sure of was that he was not my mate. Even my wolf growled at him."You are not my mate," I told him confidently and he laughed. "I mean potential mate," he said smiling."What does that mean?" I asked, I don't think I have gotten to the place in that book where they talked about potential mates. He held my hand and took me to the edge of the field where there were wooden chairs. We sat down and I discretely tried to move my chair a bit away from him. It still didn't go unnoticed by him but he didn't do anything instead he just smiled. "You see I have lived for hundred and twenty years and still haven't found my mate. So are other wolves that you see around. So the
My beast didn't mind running with this male. We ran through the thick forest, dodging trees and falling branches. I was enjoying the thrill of it. It felt like I could never get caught. Jerry was in front of us but he turned back now and then to see if we were still there or maybe just to ogle at us. I intentionally didn't want to outrun him because we didn't know where he was taking us. We occasionally nip at his paws and he playfully growls at us. We turned to an unused path. The land was a bit rocky but Jerry climbed it like it was a piece of cake, like it was nature to him. The scent on this path was old and the only dominant scent was of his and Adam. He and Adam must have used this path on their own more often.The rocky land was a bit tricky because my wolf was not used to this kind of work, but we did well to keep up not showing how hard it was for us. I didn't want him to think we were some weak female with alpha blood. The land finally leveled out as we ran through a thick
" Thanks," I said quietly. I felt guilty for not telling him, I had already seen my mate. We laid back on the grass, watching the sun as it slowly sat at the horizon. It was beautiful, I had always enjoyed it. It wasn't an awkward silence. It was a peaceful and comforting one. I wasn't thinking about anything just looking at the sky."As much as I would have loved to stay here with you, I think we should leave" he sighed and sat up reluctantly. I didn't want to go, but I remembered I never told Adam or Evan where I would be. He grabbed my hand and pulled me up. "Thanks" I muttered dusting the sand off the shirt that I wore. Instead of going back, I should just meet up with the witches at the border, since I didn't feel like going home now. " Thanks for coming," he said."It's fine. I am glad I came and I enjoyed your company" " So does that mean we could do this some other time?" He asked with a raised eyebrow and a lopsided smile. He looks really cute. I laughed and nodded. "Let'
The pack is now busy, bustling with people here and there, as they run to do their daily activities while I run back home. My wolf yipped at Luke as he saw him on his way to the pack house. I saw Amber talking to Larissa in front of a cafe. Of course, bitches will always attract bitches. I shifted in front of the house and walked in.I carried my naked self to my bathroom, not forgetting to put Sabrina's doll in one of the drawers attached to the dressing table. I turned on the shower letting the dirt wash off my body and down the drainage. After a few minutes of just standing in the bathroom, I walked out wrapping a towel around my body. I stood at the dressing table, looking at myself through the half-length mirror, remembering how I was the last time I checked the mirror. I am different now, compared to then; I look healthy, beautiful, and very much younger than my age. My hair was a darker shade of red because of its wetness, my eyes were a light green, and you could see a flicker
The door to the pack house was opened. The place was filled with people as they did whatever they were doing. The noise of chattering disturbed my sensitive ear. My blood was humming loudly, snapping and cracking, getting the attention of everyone. My wolf demanded acknowledgment and respect and she didn't like that she walked in and nobody gave her that. The whole place was silent for just a minute before chattering began again but this time, it was moderate. A few people scurried past bowing their heads. My wolf smirked.'what a weirdo' I internally said to my wolf. Forgetting I was referring to myself."Hey Alaia," Luke said. He looked back at the people in the room chuckling lightly as he saw the uneasiness of the people, my blood kept humming loudly. It was compelling their attention. " Can you tone it down a little, Alpha" Evan said speaking for the people in the room. Some looked at me in annoyance, because they were involuntarily giving me what I wanted. "That is if I could"
"Ok, I will tell you."Bracing myself for whatever he was going to say. I could hear a dramatic music playing in my head."When my father died, Beta Enoch took over the post because I was in a dungeon". He confessed. His eyes stared at my hands that I held together on my lap. Dungeon, why would they put him in a dungeon? What did he do?" What did you do?" I said quietly, uncertain if I wanted to know about it. " I killed my father" I stood up in shock looking at him with wide eyes. My eyes almost fell out of its socket and my jaw was wide open. I wasn't expecting that at all. How? Why?I kept moving backward slowly till my back hit the door. He didn't stop me as I opened the door and ran out, he just watched me. People watched as I ran out of the pack, my brain reeling with many questions. And it was when I ran to the spot where Jerry took me for the first time after a run, that I regretted leaving. My questions weren't going to answer themselves.What could his father have done to
'Evan, open up' I mindlinked him.I placed Adam's arm around my shoulder and my hand around his waist to help him support his weight even if he assured me he was fine. To other people, it would look like I was the one getting support seeing as he is huge. When the door opened, I could see the warriors all watching us in shock and some in relief as we passed. Evan rushed to the other side of Adam. He was only a few inches shorter than Adam, so it was easier for him than it was for me. 'Are you hurt?' Evan's concerned voice rang in my head.'No' I answered. Adam removed his hands from mine, as Evan put his other hand around his shoulder. The shirt I wore was bloody, but there was nothing I could do about it until I got home. We all walked together back home. The whole place was still quiet and everyone was locked in their house. I felt guilty, even if I knew it wasn't a bad thing to ask questions. When we got home, we both walked him to his room. Evan left after he had assisted him to
Adam came into view with anger contouring his face. He looked at us and everything we had prepared down. He looked back at Jerry and before I could open my mouth to say anything, he grabbed him by the neck. " What the hell are you doing with my mate." He snarled at him. I stood shocked as Jerry started to say something to calm him down but he wasn't having it. Wasn't I the one he was supposed to be angry at? I should be the one he was supposed to strangle, and whip until I was screaming out my apologies. " I said what the hell were you fucking doing with my mate," he asked again. But Jerry couldn't bring out sound as he struggled to take in breath. When I saw how white he was turning I figured out I had to do something or else he was going to kill him." Adam, it is not what it looks like, trust me," I said. I struggled to remove his hand from Jerry's neck. He released his neck and Jerry fell to the ground inhaling hair greedily. His face was white and his neck was red. I dropped my
